In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Benllech? What am I being asked for?
Benllech conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Proof of source of funds is also required under the money laundering laws as conveyancers are required to investigate that the monies you are using to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the product of illegitimate behaviour.

It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Is it correct that all Benllech CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Co-operative conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Benllech conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative done the valuation? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Benllech prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.
